Please Vote Jay and Mike for SA President and Vice President

[MSA Milwaukee]

Assalam Asaykum,

 

As most you know the Student Association election is this WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY and it is really important to take part in the election if we want real change.  This is why MSA is endorsing Jay and Mike for President and Vice president.  This endorsement is extremely important because the other nominees (Tyler & Kristi) are supporters of conservative union and were active members at the Robert Spencer event.

 

On the other hand, Jay and Mike are affiliated with SDS and MSA co-sponsored many events with them.  Its very important for MSA to support Jay and Mike in this election.

 

Stop by at the Union 1st floor this Wednesday and Thursday to vote for Jay and Mike.

 

For more information about Jay and Mike please see attachement & below:

CHANGE IS NECESSARY. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE

We can bring REAL CHANGE, right now - if we work together.

Over the past several years, students and faculty alike have become increasingly cynical of our student government at UWM, also known as the Student Association. After the controversial elections last year, few people still have faith in the governing body of our university. The vast majority of the decisions made by the UWM Student Association deal directly with the allocation of over TEN MILLION DOLLARS of student money, yet very little is done to inform students that such a body exists, and those who are aware of its existence have little to no faith in the SA’s ability to represent their best wishes.

What we at UWM, need now more than ever, is a real change in the Student Association. The isolation of this governing body is a fundamental problem which prohibits student involvement and awareness of its actions. Currently , the governing body at UWM is made up of small group of allies who make decisions and implement policies designed to further their own specific agenda, rather than representing the needs of the thousands and thousands of students who’s money their toying with.

Change at UWM is not only necessary, but it’s possible. Students need urgent action to stop the corruption, manipulation, intimidation, and the exclusivity that has plagued our University for years. The power must belong to the many students who pay a great deal to attend this school, not to the few who decide to ignore their needs. In this coming election; students need to use their power to elect a new government for our University.

To enact real change at UWM, it will take a coalition of student organizations like yours to build the force necessary to inform the student body. Will you stand with us, Jay Burseth and Mike Zahorik, and support our candidacy and pursuit of transparency and fairness within all levels of the Student Association.

Please respond to this message, indicating whether or not we can count on your support in furthering this cause at jayandm...@gmail.com. If in fact you do support our efforts or you simply have questions about our campaign, we’d love to have the chance to address your organization at an upcoming meeting or event - just tell us when and where and we’ll be happy to show up. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Together, we can change politics as usual at UWM.

 

Please consider supporting Jay and Mike for SA President and Vice President

Sincerely,

Jay and Mike
